## Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Cut a chuck roast into 4 pieces and season with salt and pepper.
3. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast pieces on all sides until browned.
4. Remove the beef and set aside.
5. Lower the heat to medium, add butter to the pot, and add the carrot, celery, and onion. Season with Italian seasoning, red pepper, salt, and pepper. Sauté until softened.
6. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
7. Add tomato paste and let it caramelize, then stir into the vegetables.
8. Pour in red wine, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for a few minutes.
9. Stir in crushed tomatoes and beef stock. Season with salt and pepper.
10. Add Parmesan rind, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf to the pot.
11. Return seared beef to the pot, ensuring it's mostly submerged in the sauce. Cover and transfer to the oven.
12. Bake for 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
13. Once beef is fork-tender, remove from the oven, discard Parmesan rind, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf.
14. Shred beef in the pot with a wooden spoon.
15. Cook pappardelle pasta according to package directions. Add noodles directly to the ragu sauce.
16. Serve topped with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley or basil.
